Two Weeks Left....

Thought I'd post a pic that Joyce took last week of me getting strapped in for a Radiation treatment. In the top pic, you can see the "lasers" used to align the marks on the mask (there are similar marks on my chest and shoulders) so that the radiation is aimed within millimeters (less than 3mm) of the target.

I've got two weeks to go. I should be finished two weeks from tomorrow, that is. These days, I've got all the side-effects stacking up against me -- mostly making it extremely difficult to (want to) eat. I can physically chew and swallow -- but the combination of ever-present nausea, dry mouth and distorted taste make it a massive chore (mentally and physically) to eat and drink. Imagine that simply drinking water makes the nausea worse. Anyhow, just holding onto the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. Oddly, I've been whiling away my time by watching alot of TV...mostly "Food Network" (which Joyce thinks has to be torture). There's a lot of episodes of Man vs. Food on and, these days, when I eat, I feel alot like Adam Richmond just powering through a 7lb breakfast burrito. I also like to watch Triple D...and I've been building a bucket-list of foods that I want to eat when I get my taste back -- things like a Reuben sandwich, a cheese steak, pizza, smoked pulled pork, Skyline chili, a meatball parmesan sub....mmmmm....bacon....donuts....ham&swiss with dijon mustard! I will certainly enjoy my food differently ...more thoroughly....after this is over.
